New countdown: Dec 26th, 2013, C/2012 S1

Since the Mayans turned out to be n00bs and nothing happened, not even their Gods descending, let's have a new countdown, hoping that this time,
there will be something that will get the attention of people all over the world.

Dec 26th, 2013

C/2012 S1 has been spotted and like every cometh en route to the Sun, this one will be quite close and spectacular (if it doesn't burn much
before).

On closest approach, the comet will pass about 0.072 AU (10,800,000 km; 6,700,000 mi) from Mars on 1 October 2013, and it will pass about 0.42
AU (63,000,000 km; 39,000,000 mi) from Earth on 26 December 2013.

2012 DA14 is a near earth asteroid with an estimated diameter of about 45 meters and an estimated mass of about 130,000 metric tons.[3] It was
discovered on February 23, 2012, by the OAM Observatory, La Sagra in Spain (J75)[1] seven days after passing 0.0174 AU (2,600,000 km; 1,620,000 mi)
from Earth on February 16.[2] Calculations show that on February 15, 2013, the distance between the asteroid and Earth will be 0.09 LD (35,000 km;
21,000 mi).[4]

Still what they achieved with their calendar was none the less amazing for people of that era . Just because that people after them made up elaborate
explanations for a simple calender that we have achieved ourselves that kind of exactness with our technological feats of the modern era we live in
now .

The comet is far from Earth but what if it does something to the Sun, or its particles do something on passing near the Earth? It's definitely a DATE
to BEHOLD. At least it has ground, not like Dec 21st 2012.

As for the one you posted, I am sorry but what is one pathetic piece of rock going to do? Yes with the force F measured in Newtons it can be
quite an impact on the Earth but even if it were direct, it would be destroyed with a missile, it's only 45 meters and such a minor thing should not
be mentioned as a threat.

And yet Venus' orbit is 26,000,000 miles at its closest to the Earth. (67,000,000 miles vs 93,000,000 miles) So we're supposed to get upset by an
asteroid that will pass by about 1.5 times further out than Venus????

My apologies, you're 100% correct. This is a "DATE to BEHOLD".

Let us all pray that nothing happens.

Thank you for bringing this to the attention of the ATS community. We now have sufficient time to prepare.

Should be something to see if it survives. Hopefully it does and puts on a good show. I quoted you so that it could be seen again...I'm still
chuckling about it.

Comets often crash into the sun, its nothing to worry about, some survive, but generally speaking aren't anything to write home about.

Oh, my mistake...

Astronomers predict that the comet will pass just 1.16 million miles from the Sun as it swings around its perihelion, or closest approach. (This
may seem like a lot, but remember—the Sun is big. If we were to scale the Sun down to the size of Earth, the comet would pass well within the orbits
of dozens of satellites.) The close approach will melt enormous amounts of the comet’s ice, releasing dust and gas and forming what should be a
magnificent tail.

Ahh, pretty.

But that's not all...

After it loops around the Sun and forms this tail, the comet should then pass relatively close to Earth—not near enough to cause any worry, but
close enough to put on a great show. Viewers in the Northern Hemisphere will get the best view as the comet blooms in the weeks approaching Christmas
2013. The comet could grow as bright as the full moon.

You underestimate nature too much. There is no such thing as 'nothing WILL happen' maybe it needs to happen to show those STRAIGHT ghey scientists
they can be wrong, for nothing is absolute, it is all RELATIVE.

It's also the peak of solar activity, why are you so ignorant, is it all so simple to you?

I am a scientist and I say a large - a humongous one I could say - comet will bounce off the sun, pushing it closer to the Earth and because of the
climatic changes all over the world, flatulence will increase a thousand fold and whoever will survive the rivers of puke will be burned and ripped
apart when the earth will explode, because the atmosphere will be replaced by large quantities of methane and sulphur through the phenomenons
described below ↓
The above mentioned HUGE comet, after bouncing off the sun will bounce off Venus, Earth, and after swoosing away the whole atmosphere will bump Mars
on its way to crash into Jupiter while taking its place in our neighbourhood. Following the terrifying shock, the whole crust will move and Gondwana
will be finally reunited, except Japan who will be pushed into the Antarctic continent and Scotland who will simply cease to exist.
If you start now pulling your hair and screaming in desperation while running chaotically in circles, it may be of some help.
All this has been written millions of eons ago in a very secret cave - so secret, nobody knows where it is, but me - and after decades of research of
almost two weeks I decyphered it yesterday.
UGH, how I despise this junk, and I despise those propagating it.
I even hate myself for writing all this nonsense...

No nothing is absolute in this existence, apart from you are very much wrong with your appraisal in this instance.

You have only recently joined, so I will cut you a break in why you think it is ok to single me out to be referred to as "ignorant," when virtually
everyone else is saying the same thing....Nothing is going to happen.

I think you will find it is you who needs to hit the research, and save the fear mongering for something worthy.

Looks can be deceiving. I only changed my name. I am longer here than you think.

The cometh is far away from the Earth, I am saying that if there was a hit in the sun, it could matter for our space weather... and when it comes to
the February 2013 - it is my turn to say, nothing will happen with a piece of rock 45m in diameter that can be shot in the air.

My message is - don't say something will not happen, something may happen when you don't expect it even if at first you judge only by how it looks at
first.

Also the coming of comet was often times in the past associated with the belief of something coming to the planet. When talking about
descending of Gods, this happening with coming of comet makes much more sense than Dec 21st 2012.....

Thus, whatever happens, better count days for this year as well, for something spectacular to happen.
